Answer 1

You can detect uninstall pop up of any app(including your own app) using Accessibility Service.

public class MyService extends AccessibilityService {

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
}

@Override
public void onAccessibilityEvent(AccessibilityEvent event) {

    if (event.getEventType() == AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED) {

        if(event.getText().equalsIgnoreCase("check for content in popup which is in screenshot"){

        /**Do your task*/
        }
    }
}

@Override
public void onInterrupt() {
}

@Override
protected void onServiceConnected() {
    super.onServiceConnected();
    AccessibilityServiceInfo info = new AccessibilityServiceInfo();
    info.flags = AccessibilityServiceInfo.DEFAULT;
    info.packageNames = new String[]{"com.android.packageinstaller"};
    info.eventTypes = AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_WINDOW_STATE_CHANGED | AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_WINDOW_CONTENT_CHANGED;
    info.feedbackType = AccessibilityServiceInfo.FEEDBACK_GENERIC;
    setServiceInfo(info);
}

here in onServiceConnected, [![com.android.packageinstaller][1]][1] represents the install/uninstall app package name(this is system app and it doesn't have any UI so it will not shown to users.).

Answer 2

<receiver android:name=".MyReceiver">
<intent-filter android:priority="999"> 
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED"/>
    <data android:scheme="package"/> 
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

test in Android 4.0 and its works fine

You cannot get the uninstall intent for your own app. See this thread for more - Get application uninstall event in android
